Gangsta’s
[Chorus: Kobe]
Niggas always fronting in their gangsta raps
But they ain't really from where the gangstas at
Where the gangstas at, where the hustlers serve
Where they got my back, and they got my work
Got the B's and the C's and the Ese's with me
Representing one love, nigga, this is our city
Where the gangstas at? Nigga, it's all good
Nigga, rep your block, nigga, rep your hood
[Verse 1: Phil Da Agony]
Yeah yeah! Had a studio in Leimert off of 43rd
Right around the corner, down the block, you can get your herb
Niggas used to serve, used to cop the killa wock
Uzi on the table, crack and the pillow pot
Do I really gotta tell 'em 'bout the RTD?
Audubon, Manual Arts, and Dorsey
Vernon and Vermont, Locke High
Or ASA Library and Hamilton, Washington or Fremont
I know every block of my city like the back of my hand
When niggas shooting like back in Iran
Compton, Inglewood, Carson, LA
Blood, Crips, all my Ese's caliente
Let's celebrate like the Laker parade
Or you could act up and have to take the fade
My nigga, I was born and raised
A lot of y'all ain't even from here, claiming LA! (Or CA!)
[Chorus: Kobe]
Niggas always fronting in their gangsta raps
But they ain't really from where the gangstas at
Where the gangstas at, where the hustlers serve
Where they got my back, and they got my work
Got the B's and the C's and the Ese's with me
Representing one love, nigga, this is our city
Where the gangstas at? Nigga, it's all good
Nigga, rep your block, nigga, rep your hood
[Verse 2: Mitchy Slick]
Where the gangstas at? Over there at the Big Linc' (Woop)
That's where some Bloods get together for a picnic (Yeah Dat)
Gang unit smash up, harassing on some bitch shit
Then give every homie in a low-low a ticket
Where the gangstas at? On the blue side plotting
Heard Bloods hanging out, they 'bout to come whopping
For the Damu's, a day for a celebration (Yeah Dat)
For the Kieways, a day for initiation
Where the gangstas at? South East Daygo
Gang unit keep the turf hot as a volcano
Burnt out tatted face repping where he come from
Logan Ave, aye, this the projects, don't come (No!)
Where you ain't gotta choose to be from the set
Even granny out front, flame flag on her head
Generations of triggeration
Hereditary gang affiliation
[Chorus: Kobe]
Niggas always fronting in their gangsta raps
But they ain't really from where the gangstas at
Where the gangstas at, where the hustlers serve
Where they got my back, and they got my work
Got the B's and the C's and the Ese's with me
Representing one love, nigga, this is our city
Where the gangstas at? Nigga, it's all good
Nigga, rep your block, nigga, rep your hood
[Verse 3: Krondon]
Real shit, nigga!
My pops brought banging to the block, Vernon and Vermont
The Four Tray H Line, no hip-hop, just lift rocks
From the kitchen, I was selling hard white at 11, no lunch box
Surrounded by orange hats and double pump shotguns
Watch for the squad cars plain wrapped
You know, undercover narcs want their 'caine back
Pops got locked up, shit changed fast
Moms moved me out the hood onto new ghettos
The West Side Jungles, Black Rebels, Stone Rangers
To the danger that lurks in the depths of sherm alley I'm no stranger
The Crenshaw Mall's real
Between the 40's and all the Bloods in Baldwin Hills
Brown bud from Belizeans
Now I'm G'n on all of you niggas from out of town
[Chorus: Kobe]
Niggas always fronting in their gangsta raps
But they ain't really from where the gangstas at
Where the gangstas at, where the hustlers serve
Where they got my back, and they got my work
Got the B's and the C's and the Ese's with me
Representing one love, nigga, this is our city
Where the gangstas at? Nigga, it's all good
Nigga, rep your block, nigga, rep your hood
[Interlude: Mitchy Slick]
Yeah Dat!
Nigga, ain't got to be no Blood or no Crip to be a real fixture in his community, you know what I mean? Yeah Dat!
I got gangstas all over the nation, Yeah Dat!
Strong Arm Steady, yeah
We started this shit, nigga
Red and blue make green, ah!
Uh, you like that shit, huh?
Get 'em Kill, uh
Khalil, we just gon' change your name to Kill, nigga, uh
Get 'em Kill, get 'em Kill, get 'em Kill
Yeah, that real shit, nigga
For all my real niggas, man
Across the country, homie
Keep it gangsta, homie
Won't let go with this shit
You know what I'm saying, ah!
[Chorus: Kobe]
Niggas always fronting in their gangsta raps
But they ain't really from where the gangstas at
Where the gangstas at, where the hustlers serve
Where they got my back, and they got my work
Got the B's and the C's and the Ese's with me
Representing one love, nigga, this is our city
Where the gangstas at? Nigga, it's all good
Nigga, rep your block, nigga, rep your hood
[Outro: Phil Da Agony]
Phil Da Agony, Krondon and Mitchy Slick
